I used to enjoy the label in school of being “weird”, but after many years of conformity it’s hard to remember what those things were.

What makes you weird/unique? Characteristics, hobbies, connections, etc I want to know!

Genuinely not caring about most things, and caring wildly drastic amounts about a tiny amount of things. 99% of the stress in my life is from trying to act interested in things cared about by the people important to me.

To be clear: I don't think either my apathy or my concerns are weird in and of themselves. I think rather that they are the cause of my social misalignment.

Acting interested in things is most of my job! It takes a lot of mental and emotional energy.
